Ballast Product Guide Welcome to our Ballast Products Catalog. We have updated our ballast offerings to better meet the needs of our customers. Our Electronic Ballast section has been completely revised to include more multi-volt, small case, and micro-can options. And, because Howard Lighting is committed to promoting environmentally friendly products, we’ve added the high-efficiency multi-volt line of ballasts to our product offerings.
Legislation has impacted some of our current ballast offerings. Because we support the transition to environmentally friendly ballasts, our HID Pulse Start family is in full compliance with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA2007) efficiency standards. Howard Lighting will continue to sell magnetic fluorescent ballasts impacted by EPACT2005 through the scheduled cutoff date of 2010, along with magnetic ballasts that are unaffected by this legislation.
While our product offerings have expanded considerably within the last few years, our commitment to provide product literature that is user-friendly remains the same. We sort our ballast information by lamp type to help you quickly find the ballast product that best suits your individual needs.
Our ballast product lines include electronic fluorescent, magnetic fluorescent, electronic compact fluorescent, high intensity discharge, and sign ballasts. Each ballast section provides you with a product image in its overview section, as well as specifications, ordering/specification data, wiring diagrams, and case dimensions. You will also find specific product information within each section. For example, you will find lead length information in the electronic and magnetic fluorescent sections, and capacitor, starter, and bracket information in the HID ballast section. Our goal was to create an informational piece of literature to enhance product knowledge, and assist our customers in selecting the very best lighting solutions for their projects. We hope you feel that we have succeeded.
In addition to our ballast product line, Howard Lighting features a full line of lamp and fixture offerings. Contact a Howard sales representative or a member of our support staff with questions or comments.
